OUR PROGRAM

In 2017/18 we supported the Tuvalu government in developing a national vulnerability assessment and knowledge management system that would inform national adaptation planning, monitoring and evaluation. The second phase of our work on supporting the NAP process in Tuvalu focuses on strengthening and further developing the systems put in place during the first phase of the program.

The TIVA.DB is a repository of national vulnerability-related data structured according to each of the eight Kaupule (island council) jurisdictions of Tuvalu.

NAP Approach

Tuvalu is laying down the foundation for its NAP process and clarifying its overall approach to its NAP through the development of a NAP readiness proposal to the Green Climate Fund.

Vulnerability and adaptation actions have been articulated in several national documents, such as the National Adaptation Plan of Action, national communications, the National Strategic Action Plan for Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management, and the National Climate Change Policy.

In 2017, the Cabinet tasked the CCPDCU under the Office of the Prime Minister to coordinate the country NAP process.
